This thread's too long. I'm getting confused on who exactly asked the
question..
My Take on thi
/snip
what if the code logic requires that there is some output sent to the
browser.
/snip
In my case I use a Refresh-redirect. I've posted my code on this on this
thread. The way I'm doing it is like this.. (logic)
The header_refresh_html will redirect to "home.php" if user is already
logged in but not before issuing a warning to the user to logout before
logging in again.
The Error msg will be display WAY.. before the refresh/redirect takes place.
(2 seconds) Maybe if through the internet it's not so great,but on my
intranet, 2 secs is long enough for the user to view the message.
====login.php========
if ( check_if_authenticated() )
{
header_refresh_html("home.php");
trigger_error(ERROR_USER_ALREADY_AUTHENTICATED, WARNING);
exit;
}
else
{
//display login form/msg
}

hello everyone,
Can somebody tell me why meta-refresh is not preferred to do re-directs
?
I know Javascript is browser dependent, so its undependable.
using headers in php requires that no output is sent to the browser,
what if the code logic requires that there is some output sent to the
browser. I am sorry if this is a repeat question because someone
earlier did mention abt output buffering as a way around.
TIA
